Hardback. Condición: Very Good. The definitive collection of speeches and writings of one of America's most important social reformersCelebrated as the most famous woman in America at the time of her death in 1898, Frances E. Willard was a leading nineteenth-century American temperance and women's rights reformer and a powerful orator. President of Evanston College for Ladies (before it merged with Northwestern University) and then professor of rhetoric and aesthetics and the first dean of women at Northwestern, Willard is best known for leading the Woman's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU), America's largest women's organization. The WCTU shaped both domestic and international opinion on major political, economic, and social reform issues, including temperance, women's rights, and the rising labor movement. In what Willard regarded as her most important and far-reaching reform, she championed a new ideal of a powerful, independent womanhood and encouraged women to become active agents of social change. Willard's reputation as a powerful reformer reached its height with her election as president of the National Council of Women in 1888. This definitive collection follows Willard's public reform career, providing primary documents as well as the historical context necessary to clearly demonstrate her skill as a speaker and writer who addressed audiences as diverse as political conventions, national women's organizations, teen girls, state legislators, church groups, and temperance advocates. Including Willard's representative speeches and published writings on everything from temperance and women's rights to the new labor movement and Christian socialism, Let Something Good Be Said is the first volume to collect the messages of one of America's most important social reformers who inspired a generation of women to activism.…

Hardcover. First edition. This exceptionally well-preserved little 1917 Yale University anthology is noteworthy for including "The Hill Wife" by Robert Frost at pages 14-17. The lovely binding features quarter faux vellum and light teal paper-covered boards with a gilt printed spine and printed paper label on the front cover. The contents are on heavy wove stock with untrimmed fore and bottom edges. The dust jacket is dark teal printed in black. Condition is near fine in a very good dust jacket. The binding is square, clean, and tight with minimal shelf wear to extremities and just a hint of spine toning. The contents are immaculately clean with a crisp, unread feel and only mild age-toning. We find no previous ownership marks or spotting. The dust jacket is clean and unfaded with only fractional loss confined to the spine ends and corners and clean splits starting at the joints and flap folds. The dust jacket is protected beneath a clear, removable, archival cover."The Hill Wife" was first published in the Yale Review in April 1916, and included in the collection Mountain Interval published later that same year. Frost was newly returned from England, where his first two books, A Boy's Will (1913) and North of Boston (1914), had been published, after which "Frost's reputation as a leading poet had been firmly established in England, and Henry Holt of New York had agreed to publish his books in America."Mountain Interval, in which "The Hill Wife" would appear at pages 49-51, was the first of Frost's collections to be published first in America. Frost was at the beginning of the arc that would see him eventually become "the most highly esteemed American poet of the twentieth century" and win a still-to-this-day-unrivalled four Pulitzer Prizes for Poetry. But all of that lay still ahead when "The Hill Wife" was published in this 1917 anthology. "Critically acclaimed, it is among the best known of Frost's poems. The five-poem sequence that makes up 'The Hill Wife' is, in Louis Untermeyer's words, 'a remarkably founded portrayal of fear and love and loneliness.'" References: Tuten & Zubizarreta; Crane; ANB.…
